Lying drunk on the battlefield Fiction
Lying drunk on the battlefield

This is a memorable memory. Throughout the ages, passionate men have had a dream of joining the military and serving their country. If you're interested and patient enough to understand the real military life, join me in recalling that period of military service. Though it may be difficult to achieve complete authenticity, I will try my best to present the truth, offer sincere dedication, and incorporate some fictional elements without blindly fabricating. So, my friend, let's go back together to those iron-blooded years. As they say in the army, "Brothers, follow me..." If you're interested in discussing further, join the "Drunk and Fallen on the Battlefield" reader group. I highly recommend "The First Military Commander," which tells the untold story of a founding hero, and "The Throne of Warriors," which portrays the stories of heroes in the self-defense counterattack war. "The Iron Spear Paints the Eyebrow Records" showcases the desolate beauty of ancient warfare.
